Daal rahaa hai kaam mein mushkil — Arzoo Lakhnavi

us shaan-e-aajizi ke fidaa jis ne 'aarzu'
har naaz har ghurur ke qaabil banaa diyaa

— Arzoo Lakhnavi

khizaan kaa bhes banaa kar bahaar ne maaraa
mujhe do-rangi-e-lail-o-nahaar ne maaraa

— Arzoo Lakhnavi

aap apne se barhami kaisi
main nahin koi aur hai ye bhi

— Arzoo Lakhnavi

hasraton kaa dil se qabza uTh gayaa
ghaasibon ki hukmraani khatm hai

— Arzoo Lakhnavi

khamoshi meri maani-khez thi ai aarzu kitni
ki jis ne jaisaa chaahaa vaisaa afsaana banaa Daalaa

— Arzoo Lakhnavi

phir chaahe to na aanaa o aan baan vaale
jhuTaa hi vaada kar le sachchi zabaan vaale

— Arzoo Lakhnavi
